An Lingrong's Rebirth: Changing Fate from the Suiyuxuan

"The Emperor has arrived!"

As the eunuch's report came, the queen, who was originally begging for mercy from the queen dowager, and the queen dowager, who was not going to pay attention to her, were both stunned.

"Why is the emperor here at this time?"

The Queen Mother was already upset because of the trouble caused by the Queen, and when she heard that the Emperor was also coming, she suddenly felt overwhelmed.

"I don't know either!"

Faced with the Queen Mother's questioning, the Queen, who was also very surprised, could only shake her head helplessly.

She had previously sent people to search Yikun Palace, intending to get hold of Nian Shilan's "evidence" as soon as possible.

At the same time, in order to avoid giving others a chance to talk, the queen also sent someone to the Yangxin Palace to report the news, so that Yongzheng would not blame her later.

However, there was no news from the Yangxin Palace at that time, so the empress naturally thought that the emperor had no time to deal with these matters.

After that, the Queen Mother suddenly sent Sun Zhuxi to take her to Shoukang Palace.

When the queen was scolded by the queen mother, she was full of reluctance and felt that the queen mother was making a fuss just to criticize her.

Who knew that at this time, Yongzheng came!

At this moment, the queen suddenly became extremely calm, knowing that the emperor might have bad intentions!

Facing the emperor's wrath, I am afraid it will be difficult for me to resist. Then, the only one who can protect me is the empress dowager in front of me!

"My Queen Mother, you were right before. I know I was wrong! Please save me for the sake of our past friendship!"

The queen remained kneeling on the ground and begged the empress dowager desperately.

The Queen Mother was indeed very angry. She felt that the Queen had become too powerful and had her own ideas without even asking for her opinion.

But if Yongzheng really wanted to take action against the Queen because of Concubine Nian, the Empress Dowager would not sit idly by.

"You'd better remember what you said to me today!"

After giving the Queen a fierce glare, the Queen Mother immediately adjusted her expression.

At the same time, Yongzheng also walked in slowly accompanied by Su Peisheng.

"My son pays his respects to the Empress Dowager!"

Yongzheng entered the hall and first saluted the empress dowager, and then his cold gaze fell on the queen.

"May your Majesty be blessed!"

Naturally, the queen also felt the emperor's angry glare and did not dare to look up at this time.

It seems like everything is developing in the worst direction!

There seems to be only one possibility for the emperor to be so angry, and that is because of Concubine Nian!

The queen lamented for herself in her heart, but she didn't say anything at this time to avoid getting into trouble.

"You don't have to be so polite, Emperor."

The Queen Mother saw clearly the undercurrent between the Emperor and the Empress, but pretended not to know, saying only: "The Emperor is very busy, why did he come to Shoukang Palace at this time? Could it be that the Emperor also came because of the matter of the concubine that year?"

"The Empress Dowager also knows about this?"

Yongzheng was indeed very angry.

In his opinion, he had punished Nian Shilan at the same time as punishing Nian Gengyao.

Not only was Nian Shilan stripped of her title and demoted, she was not even allowed to leave the palace, which was considered a "severe punishment."

As a result, the Queen and her followers even took advantage of the situation and wanted to kill Nian Shilan!

Although Yongzheng had neglected Nian Shilan for a long time, it was mostly because of his brother Nian Gengyao. Naturally, he still had some friendship for Nian Shilan herself.

Therefore, according to Yongzheng's original intention, he wanted to put an end to everything related to her.

If Cao Qinmo, the Queen and others took action at this time, it would be tantamount to touching the emperor's "reverse scale"!

However, now that the person who brought up this matter was his own mother, Yongzheng had to soften his tone when speaking.

"Of course I know."

The empress dowager was secretly relieved to see that the emperor still gave her face.

Then, she asked Yongzheng to sit next to her, and then slowly said, "The Queen came to tell me early in the morning that such a big thing happened in the harem. Even if I don't want to get involved in those things, I have to ask about it!"

After hearing what the Empress Dowager said, Yongzheng's eyes flashed, and he realized that the Empress Dowager still wanted to protect the Queen.

Otherwise, the Queen Mother would never say these words to herself.

"Emperor, I know that you love Concubine Nian very much, but according to Concubine Cao's testimony, the Queen also sent people to search the Yikun Palace and found a lot of real evidence. It can be seen that her illegal and disorderly behavior has been going on for a long time, not just overnight!"

Seeing that Yongzheng remained silent, the Queen Mother continued, "You don't need to be angry now. It will only hurt yourself. Why bother? Just do what you have to do!"

"What the Empress meant was..."

When Yongzheng heard this, he was shocked and his expression became a little heavy.

"As the saying goes, if the emperor breaks the law, he is guilty of the same crime as the common people. Concubine Nian is a royal concubine and has been in a high position for many years. The Nian family has also been deeply favored by the emperor for generations, but they have never thought of repaying the emperor. Instead, they have done so many wrong things in secret. If the emperor continues to be lenient, I am afraid that they will become even more outrageous and will not be able to stop the gossips!"

The Queen Mother paused for a moment after she finished speaking.

Seeing that Yongzheng still had no reaction, he guessed that his son's mood was also very complicated at the moment.

So the Queen Mother first gave the Queen a warning look, telling her not to meddle in other people's business.

After another moment of silence, the Empress Dowager waved to the Queen, letting her go first, and then she began to persuade Yongzheng again.

"Emperor, there are only you and I here now. There are some things that I don't need to hide anymore."

"Madam, please speak. Your son is listening."

Maybe it was because the queen had left the hall, or maybe it was because he had adjusted himself.

Anyway, when the Empress Dowager said this, Yongzheng, who had been silent all along, finally reacted.

"I know that the emperor loves Concubine Nian, and Nian Gengyao is becoming more and more arrogant. He also made such treasonous remarks before. The emperor punished Concubine Nian because he didn't want to pursue him further. But what happened now was all done by him personally, not framed by others!"

The Queen Mother said, "You don't have to blame the Queen. Since she is the Empress, this is her duty. Besides, those things were handed over by the people below. The only thing the Queen can do is to tell me while investigating!"

"My son knows everything that the Empress Dowager said."

Yongzheng nodded first, agreeing with the Empress Dowager's words.

But then, Yongzheng continued, "It's just that the Empress Dowager also knows that Shilan is a straightforward person and doesn't have those scheming minds. She was wrong, but it was probably because of the instigation of others!"

Although no names were mentioned, in Yongzheng's opinion, half of the responsibility for Nian Shilan's actions was closely related to Cao Qinmo!

"Forget it. The emperor has his own judgment on what is right and what is wrong. I, an old woman, will not interfere."

The Empress Dowager's main purpose was not to ask Yongzheng to severely punish Nian Shilan, but to protect the Queen.

Seeing that under her influence, Yongzheng was no longer so hostile to the queen, she was already satisfied.

However, in order to prevent the emperor from letting the matter go, the empress dowager gave him one final warning.

It was precisely these words that made Yongzheng come back to his senses. After some thought, he made a decision.
